About Gabriele

Gabriele Hoog is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with two decades of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, mood disorders, addiction, trauma, and related life challenges.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a strengths-based, solution-focused stance that centers the client's knowledge about their life while offering practical skills to reduce distress and support healthier choices. Her work often includes addressing depression, bipolar and other mood concerns, grief, relationship and communication problems, and difficulties with self-esteem and anger.

Hoog blends evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy with mindfulness and motivational strategies to help clients recognize how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. She encourages developing new coping methods alongside attention to overall wellness - including sleep, activity, and self-care - so progress extends beyond symptom relief to daily functioning.

Gabriele aims to create a compassionate, validating atmosphere where clients can process intense emotions and build concrete tools for change.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Gabriele commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to guide online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and many mood or stress-related concerns. DBT emphasizes distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and mindfulness skills that help people manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive reactions.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Gabriele works with clients to evaluate needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods over time to find the best fit for symptom relief and skill development. That collaborative stance supports creating a personalized plan whether the emphasis is on short-term solutions or longer-term coping strategies.

Online therapy with Gabriele is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can increase flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. These formats make it possible to access licensed professionals from different locations in Missouri and to continue skill practice between sessions with varied communication options.
